I wish someone would tell me what it is that I've done wrong.
Why I have to stay chained up and left alone so long.
They seemed so glad to have one when I came here as a pup.
There were so many things we'd do while I was growing up.
They couldn't wait to train me as a companion and a friend.
And told me how they'd never fear being left alone again.
The children said they'd feed me and brush me everyday.
They'd play with me and walk me, if only I could stay.
But now the Family "Hasn't Time"; they say I often shed.
They do not want me in the house not even to be fed.
The children never walk me, they always say "Not Now!"
I wish that I could please them; won't someone tell me how?
All I had, you see, was love; I wish they would explain.
Why they said they wanted me, then left me on a chain!
